Event Name: Gravel Xpress
When: 22 August 2015
Where: Van Gaalen Kaasmakerij, North West
Category: MTB

If you are looking for a fast paced, countryside gravel road race where you can strech out your legs with a testing climb at the turning point, then on 22 August 2015 Van gaalen's is the place to be.

 

Parking @ Van Gaalen Kaasmakerij.

Starting Point: Remhoogte Gravel Road (short guided ride to start point)

Starting Times:08:00

Distances: 105km, 95km, 45km

We Start on the Gravel Road with 30km of fast paced Gravel Fun, reaching the foot of Breedt's nek where the climbing begins!

 

The difference between the 95km and 105km is simple... The reasonably sane will do the 95km to the top of the mountain and turn to go back... The few less sane will continue on to the bottom and turn at the Spaza shop.The Last 6km of the route will be single track back to Van Gaalen's.

Because its an out and back route, there are 2 water points giving the 105Km four water stops and the 95km only three.

For the 45km there will only be one water point.

Meals included for all participants.

Any Questions?

No questions just love to know if you guys run the cheese farm? Who I can send some constructive criticism to about the lack of service at Van Gaalen so we could actually for a change enjoy a beer and a meal after our rides there. Have you guys even read Tripadvisor to see the opinions on your establishment?

 

Other than that, this should be a good race its a ride we do a couple of times a year.

anyone done the 95km race bfore,or can give any info on the race?

this is the inaugural one.

as it states above, pretty straightforward... VG to the top of Breedts and back, you don't go down the other side to the little shop at the bottom.

I entered, but work commitments mean I'll have to skip :thumbdown:  bummed, was really looking forward to it.

If anyone's keen on my entry, it's for the 95km... don't want the money..a donation to FORA will do
